Where’s my direct-to table meal? Oh well. At least I’ve got my laptop, mp3 player, and other stuff. I wonder what we’ll think when we look back another 30 years in the future.

Maybe in another 38 years we can get there. It is interesting that the “vision phone” is a reality now with webconferencing. And we are moving toward all digital books, though we are not quite there yet. Both seem like they were good futuristic ideas for someone in 1972. But I don’t get the jumpsuits and no beds. I wonder if the author is still alive to see what 2010 is really like?
